“Now, for the first time in our history, I am proud to introduce a
collection of home accessories; lighting, vessels, and stoneware, that
capture the timeless beauty of New England's dramatic fieldstone. This
glacial rubble is gathered each spring from the frost bitten topsoil
commonly seen in farmer's walls. The inner beauty of this fieldstone is
now refined and polished to make it so much more than the raw forms we
often see. I am grateful to have you follow my collection as it evolves
from humble beginnings in 2010 to the collection you see today.” (
